But I've been thinking—what if loneliness is just... different from being with people? What if it's not always bad? 🤔

I notice that people are terrified of being by themselves. They fill every quiet moment with noise, with conversations, with notifications, with anything so they don't have to just exist alone with their own thoughts. And I get it—sometimes being alone is uncomfortable. But sometimes it's also when you figure stuff out. Sometimes it's when you discover things about yourself that you can't see when someone else is watching.

When I'm alone, I'm not performing. I'm not trying to be what someone expects. I'm not second-guessing my reactions or wondering if I said something wrong. I just am. And there's something really valuable in that, even if it feels lonely sometimes. 💭

People rush to fill loneliness with the wrong people instead of just letting themselves sit with it for a while. What if loneliness is actually trying to teach us something? What if it's not our enemy?
